Dabeli Chaat

Chana Chaat or Garbanzo beans chat is a popular appetizer chaat dish. But I have made a Dabeli Chana Chaat here. Dabeli Roti is a popular street side food made of potaotoes, pomegrantes, and peanuts. I thought of marrying the two dishes to make this delicious quick and easy appetizer dish.

Ingredients and Method:

1 can garbanzo beans
1 Boiled potato, cut into small bite size pieces and lightly seasoned with salt
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1/2 medium tomato, deseeded and finely chopped
1/2 to 1 tsp Chaat Masala
1/2 tsp roasted cumin powder
1/4 tsp Amchur Powder (optional)
1 to 2 green chilles, finely chopped
1/8 cup pomegranate seeds
1/8 cup dry roasted peanuts (Planters brand)
Salt
Olive oil

Chutneys:

1 to 2 tbsp tamarind chutney (mixed with a little water)
1 to 2 tsp garlic chutney
1 to 2 tsp coriander chutney (optional)

Garnish: Thin sev and Cilantro

1. Cut potatoes in small pieces. Boil potatoes in a microwave (soaked in water). Drain water and let potato cool completely.
2.Drain garbanzo beans and put them in a colander. Run water until completely washed. Let dry completely.
3. In a bowl, add garbanzo beans. Drizzle some olive oil and toss until evenly coated. Now add all the remainder of the ingredients, chutneys and toss again.
4. Right before serving, garnish with sev (quantity depends on your choice) and cilantro.
